The Lviv
State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater was built in 1897-1900 under a project designed by
architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski.
The building is erected in historicist style and influenced by the
so-called
Vienna Neo-Renaissance. The monumental theater
building has
occupied a key position in the architectural ensemble of the city’s main avenue
created in the late 19th – early 20th century.
